*Copy provided in exchange for an honest review* If you like soft, family-focused Christmas romances, The Lights on Knockbridge Lane will be a sure-fire read. It is more about family and fresh starts than anything else, which was nice during this stressful time in the world. Despite some small patches of tension and drama, the story is relatively low angst. I liked the background of Christmas (even though I read this in the summer), and the hopeful, renewal vibe of the story. The story was like warm hot chocolate on a snowy night. They were both interesting and memorable characters. Also, I loved seeing Adam be an openly extremely emotional kind of person (I could relate). Still, I think Roan Parrish did an excellent job developing the feelings and back-stories for both of the MCs, and I totally bought them as a couple.įrom a science perspective, I'm not sure how feasible some of the ideas in the story were (plus, racoons make terrible house pets), but I liked the fact that we got a geeky, shy, really, really ridiculously good-looking MC in Wes. I am fine with both of those elements, but, at times, I wanted less focus on Gus (the daughter), and more on the main characters. The Lights on Knockbridge Lane is for those who like books with heavy focus on children and family (the daughter plays a HUGE role in the book) and doesn't mind a lower-steam kind of story. I liked having some background knowledge about the side characters but it isn't at all necessary to follow the story. It is a sweet story in the Garnet Run series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. My main goal of 2020-2021 is to find books that captivate me and take me out of my head (I think we can all agree on that), and The Lights on Knockbridge Lane mostly succeeded on that front.
It's a warm, fuzzy Christmas romance, but you do have to be in a particular mood to read it.
I really enjoyed The Lights on Knockbridge Lane by Roan Parrish, even if I found it a bit hard to focus on the story at times.
